Acme (card Game)
Acme is a patience or card solitaire of the reserved packer type using a single deck of playing cards. History Acme is an old patience whose rules are first recorded by "Tarbart" in 1905."Tarbart" (1905), pp. 46–47. Rules Acme has four tableau locations or depots initially of one card each, and they are built down in suit. There are also four foundations that build up in suit. The reserve pile contains 13 cards which can be played onto the foundations or tableau. The player turns up one card at a time from the talon, the cards remaining in his or her hand. Only the top card of a depot can be moved. These cards can be moved to a foundation or onto another depot. The tableau builds down in suit, and the foundations build up in suit. Cards from the reserve automatically fill any vacancies in the tableau. Any card can fill a vacancy after the reserve is exhausted. There is only one redeal allowed in this game, so only two passes through the deck are allowed. Strateg ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Patience (game)
Patience (Europe), card solitaire, or solitaire (US/Canada), is a genre of card games whose common feature is that the aim is to arrange the cards in some systematic order or, in a few cases, to pair them off in order to discard them. Most are intended for play by a single player, but there are varieties for two or more players. Genre names 'Patience' is the earliest recorded name for this type of card game in both British and American sources. The word derives from the games being seen as an exercise in patience.Parlett (1991), pp. 157–161. Although the name solitaire became common in North America for this type of game during the 20th century, British games scholar David Parlett argues that there are good reasons for preferring the name 'patience'. Firstly, ''patience'' refers specifically to card games, whereas ''solitaire'' may also refer to games played with dominoes or peg and board games. Secondly, any game of patience may be played competitively by two or more players ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Glossary Of Patience And Solitaire Terms
Games of patience, or (card) solitaires as they are usually called in North America, have their own 'language' of specialised terms such as "building down", "packing", "foundations", "talon" and "tableau". Once learnt they are helpful in describing, succinctly and accurately, how the games are played. Patience games are usually for a single player, although a small number have been designed for two and, in rare cases, three or even four players. They are games of skill or chance or a combination of the two. There are three classes of patience grouped by object. The most frequent object is to arrange the cards either in ascending sequence (e.g. from Ace to King) or descending sequence. Occasionally both forms of sequence are aimed at in the same game. The card forming the starting point of the required sequence is known as the foundation card and the sequence or family is said to be 'built up' on such card. In some cases foundation cards are picked out and placed in posit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Canfield (solitaire)
Canfield (US) or Demon (UK) is a patience (game), patience or Solitaire (game), solitaire card game with a very low probability of winning. It is an English game first called Demon Patience and described as "the best game for one pack that has yet been invented". It was popularised in the United States in the early 20th century as a result of a story that casino owner Richard A. Canfield had turned it into a gambling game, although it may actually have been Klondike and not Demon that was played at his casino. As a result, it became known as Canfield in the United States, while continuing to be called Demon Patience in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. It is closely related to Klondike, and is one of the most popular games of its type. History The game is first recorded in 1891 in England by Mary Whitmore Jones as Demon Patience.
